Configurable connection URI
Sifting through the code I gather the connection URI is not configurable.
const (
connectionString = "qemu:///system"
func (d *Driver) getConn() (*libvirt.Connect, error) {
if d.conn == nil {
conn, err := libvirt.NewConnect(connectionString)
I need to use a different URI (e.g. qemu:///session). I think a driver parameter would be appropriate here. Alternatively, passing an empty string to libvirt.NewConnect would have libvirt select the default connection and let the user configure it themselves.
func NewConnect(uri string) (*Connect, error) {
var cUri *C.char
if uri != "" {
cUri = C.CString(uri)
defer C.free(unsafe.Pointer(cUri))
}
ptr := C.virConnectOpen(cUri)
virConnectOpen: https://libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt-host.html#virConnectOpen
I totally agree with this. That's now easy to have user QEMU thanks to qemu-bridge-helper. We need only two params : the connection string (use the session) and the bridge to use (instead of a libvirt network).
This will avoid a password prompt and make it more secure. Also, this will help isolate dév env in dév home.
🆙 👍 Thanks for the report.
@dhiltgen do you want help on this topic ?
Actually, in my setup, I simply use the same bridge as for my lxc containers:
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='52:54:00:a5:a2:78'/>
<source bridge='lxcbr0'/>
<model type='rtl8139'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
</interface>
<serial type='pty'>
Here is how i setup qemu-bridge-helpers on debian: https://github.com/bersace/dotfiles/blob/master/virtualisation.yml#L58-L79
